Helix?

Sandstorm.

Prove it.

Did you bring it?

Did you bring it?

Keep it cool and dry.

We shouldn't contact each other on the forums anymore.

Kill the trail here.

He's taken care of.

Copy. — thanks.

Trevor: Do you know how to handle that?

It's safe to walk around with, right?

It's stable. Wouldn't call it safe.

What does that mean?

That means don't drop it, don't shake it

don't expose it to heat, don't get it wet.

I know what I'm doing, asshole.

She's "pleasant". — Trevor: / can tell.

Reminds me of your girlfriend.

Abby: This is what / asked you

to build, right?

I did a lot of research.

To your exact specifications.

Then we're good.

Long as you don't take it through a metal detector.

Marcy: Trevor, don't scare her away.

Why do you care?

Because I made it.

You do something stupid and blow yourself up

trying to get through security... — Philip: Easy!

It might come back on me.

You don't have to worry about that.

Trevor: I should go after her.

Don't do it.

Marcy's right. We don't want to push her too hard.

Hey, I'm not trying to push her at all

but that's the mission that the director assigned us.

Philip: We '/I just have to try again.

Agent maclaren.

Congressman bishop.

We meet again.

You met my host.

We never actually met because you improvised.

Almost got yourself killed in the process

and left me stranded, waiting for another team.

Gee, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

There was an extenuating circumstance.

Bishop: Always is, with you.

I'm amazed you're assigned any missions at all, let alone this one.

This one?

Well, I'm assuming it's not just to drive you around.

Case clasps clack

your mission is to perform an assassination.

Of who?

Me.

Hi, Chloe.

It's your boyfriend!

Jenny: Babysitting my little sister today.

Do you want to play space kebab?

He's not your boyfriend, he's mine.

We can play though if you don't tell mum.

Want to play something else?

I can't stay, I just came for some drops.

You're burning through 'em fast.

We are.

That's fair.

Maybe we can play a little.

Phone beeps

dial tone rings out

voicemail: Hi, this is David. Leave a message.

She sighs

Muffled music plays

knocking

Kathryn: It's open!

Hey!

Hey, hey. Let... leave that.

I'm no stranger to moving furniture.

Yeah, I know, but you shouldn't be overdoing it.

Part of my deal with Nicole

is to redecorate this place while she's gone

which... looks like it could be a while, by the way.

She's loving it in London, so "yay".

You really like it here, huh, in this space?

Are you kidding?

It's the kind of place I fantasised about living in

until I met you.

You don't think I'd go for something like this?

She laughs: No.

Huh.

There's a unit for sale in this building.

Let's put in an offer.

I'm serious!

But you love our old house.

It's a house.

Without you living there, it's an empty house.

I say we downsize.

With the baby coming, I need more space, not less.

Oh. — what?

Oh, come here.

Can you feel that?

I can't believe we're doing this.

What?

You said we.

I got all excited.

I'm not ready for you to move in, Grant.

Well, a house doesn't get sold in a day.

And we're leaving the other one behind either way, right?

I'm just...

Thinking about the future.

Maybe I should've gone after her.

Philip: She comes to this cafe

almost every day, just after 10:00.

Ok, she's coming down bellwood.

She's close.

Radar beeps

Philip: She's stopped just outside.

Trevor: Copy.

What are you doing here?

Huh?

Are you following me?

He scoffs: How?

I've been here for two hours.

Are you following me?

No. But that's my spot.

I was here first.

Sit there.

Whatever. — whatever.

Trevor types

Can I help you... sandstorm?

Sounds so stupid when you say it out loud.

Yeah, it does.

I'm Trevor.

Abby.

Galston agriculture fan?

Mm—mm. Not a fan. Definitely.

Why?

They stomp out the competition

they stall unions, file nuisance claims

fund anti—environmental lobbyists.

Other than that they're model corporate citizens.

Ok, it's way worse than that.

She types

Abby: Look at the bottom.

Trevor: Seed c589

scheduled for limited release and production.

Patent pending.

That's all it says.

It's an experimental crop that's able

to extract more nutrients from the soil

in order to yield a larger harvest, by 20 to 30°/o.

And what's wrong with that?

It's never been tested in the field.

They don't know the limits of how many nutrients c589 will pull from the soil.

It's not about sustainability, it's about profit

and for the sake of a few years of record harvests

this crop could decimate all the farmland that it grows in.

A famine isn't just some biblical event.

No, I know. It happens.

They already have a prototype strain ready to go.

When?

This week.

Well, it would have to pass fda regulations.

Not if bill 939 gets passed

which allows corporations to bypass the regulatory process

for standard testing.

They want to get it to market ahead of their competition.

How do you know all of this?

Not here.

Jeff?

Anyone home?

She locks the door

Abby: I was pretty excited when I got the internship.

I thought I could take 'em down from the inside, you know?

I wrote to our congress, I wrote to our senator...

I sent reports to the fda of their violations.

I even tried blackmailing one of their private investors.

You go, girl!

She laughs you did not just say that.

Um, anyway, I got just moved

from the labs down to the basement

so all I do now is archive old paperwork.

So, I'm not waiting around anymore.

What does that mean?

I still have access to the building

and I have what I need to do something about it.

That's serious shit you're talking, Abby.

It's also a big job for one person.

I can do it.

You don't think I can do it?

You're not hearing me.

TV news reader: And while house and senate democrats

are deeply divided on this issue

congressman Ted bishop has taken a hard stand

against it, vowing to fight.

Ted bishop on TV: We are gonna stop bill 939.

We 're gonna get the senate to hear us

that we will strike down this destructive bi/I

and we will succeed.

This is it.

Abby: Whoa... holy shit.

This place is...

Hey. — hello.

Abby, Philip.

My hacker friend I was telling you about.

Oh. What'd he say?

Uh, you're the best

I can trust you, and you want to help.

There's so much more to me.

You guys live here?

Philip: Mi casa.

Trevor: I still have a room at my parents' house

but I'm here a lot.

Abby: Just the two of you?

And poppy.

His pet turtle.

You do know they can carry salmonella bacteria, right?

Noted. — Trevor, chuckles: Ok.

Our system is completely secure, so go ahead and plug in.

Keyboard clicks

no shame in a little porn. I won't judge.

Rule 34.

She's hilarious. Where'd you find her?

She found me.

These are the project work files

on c589 I managed to swipe.

I've gone through some of it, but a lot of it's encrypted.

What's the timeline we're working on here?

The bill 939 vote is tomorrow.

Galston won't waste time.

The labs are always empty between 11:00 and 1:00 for lunch.

That's our window.

Doctor: The heartbeat sounds good.

The kidney, liver, brain, all developing very well.

This is just what we want to see at this stage.

Now, there was one area of concern that we saw.

This dark spot here, just behind the placenta.

Kathryn: What is it?

Too early to say for sure

but we would be concerned if it were a blood clot.

Have you experienced any spotting

any contractions recently?

No. — what would a clot mean?

It could be the early signs of a placental abruption.

But it could be nothing?

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

There's no need for either of you to worry at this time.

But given your age and your history we're gonna...

We're gonna keep a close eye on this.

So, best to make an appointment with my office

come back and see me in two weeks. Ok?

Ok.

Maclaren: The doctor said it might not be anything.

I know what the doctor said

and I've been through this before.

That's not going to happen this time.

That's not in your power.

Oh, shit! I left my phone in there.

Wait for me in the car. I'll be two minutes.

Thank you.

Marcy? You got a minute? I... I...

I didn't want to have this conversation over com.

What? — I need a favour.

Yeah, of course. — one that breaks protocol.

I need you to understand this happened the night

we were all under the effect of the anti—toxin.

Which you don't remember.

We briefed you on the helios mission

this was the night after, we were all affected.

Ok.

Well, my wife had helped to arrange a surprise party for me

and I... I didn't realise the effect the drug was having,

I consumed too much alcohol. — you broke protocol 4?

And that puts her at, what? Twenty weeks?

Something like that. This is not her fault.

No, it isn't.

It's yours. — I know.

What were you thinking? — I... wasn't, obviously.

Alright. It'll probably still be best if you took her to a clinic.

The procedure's safe, even at this stage.

She's going through with it.

It's her decision to make.

Well, talk her out of it. — I'm not gonna do that.

No.

We just came from the ultrasound. There's a problem.

Placental abruption?

Yeah.

That's serious in any century.

Yeah, but you could improve her odds

of carrying the baby to term, right?

There is a drug I could technically synthesise, yes

but you know that I can't do that.

I'm asking you to think about it.

I need to get back to work.

Hey, Marcy.

Dr barker. — uh, so is he your, uh...?

My boyfriend? No.

Excuse me.

Would you like to go to dinner sometime?

Sure. When?

How about... how about this weekend?

How about now? I just got to go change.

Oh...

Ok, then.

I'll be giving my speech from here.

Yeah. That's a decent vantage point.

From which to shoot me?

That's why we're here.

I was told there'll be a distraction at 11:27am.

Yeah, we're aware of that.

It's blocks away, but the sound should carry.

Why don't you check out your spot?

You alright?

This is plan b.

My original mission from the director was a little more long—term.

Rise in the ranks of government, maybe high office.

Unfortunately, my host has a heart condition

the director wasn't aware of.

You've still done great things as a congressman

things that your host wouldn't have done.

Been paying attention, have you?

Felt I had a vested interest.

The director has fattened me up like a lamb being led to the slaughter.

All I've done in the short time I've been here

is set myself up to become a martyr.

We all have our part in the grand plan. — yeah, yeah, it is what it is.

Oh, I want to ask... That woman in the stasis field.

What was she to you? Worth risking your life for?

Someone I care about that was not supposed to be on the plane that day.

She made it?

Yeah. She did.

Well, that makes one of us.

He sighs

it'll be quick, right?

Dr barker: Thank you. — Marcy: Thank you.

Dr barker: Um... to courage.

To courage. She laughs

So...

What drew you to health care?

God, that is an awful question

to lead with. I am so sorry.

No. It's... it's fine.

No, no. It's, uh...

I don't know what it is about you.

You're so...

At some point, I'm gonna need you to finish that sentence.

Every male in the entire hospital

would be jealous of me, if they knew where I was.

This must be a really good restaurant, then.

I mean, with you.

Obviously.

Uh, well, I got into health care

because, in the future, it's gonna be more important than ever.

I know. And we're just on the cusp of so many amazing things.

Mm.

Why'd you become a doctor?

Um, similar reasons to you, really.

I want to be part of the changes that are coming.

Think of what we're able to do now

that we couldn't even ten, 15 years ago.

Brain mapping, stem cell research

robotically—assisted surgeries...

Limitless ways to help people.

I mean, isn't that what it's all about?

You have a very positive view of the future.

Yeah, don't you?

I do.

Here you go.

Thanks. — what are you writing?

It's like a mission statement.

I want people to know why we're doing this.

You don't think that bombing a research lab makes a statement?

I don't want people to think that I'm some radical.

There's a point to this. — yeah, that's why we're helping you.

I've been doing some reading.

C589 is worse than you think.

How?

There are properties in the genetic mutation of the seed that are monophyletic.

Mono... what?

It means that the organisms descend from the same common ancestor.

In this case, the kudzu

a weed known for completely taking over a territory.

So if farmers start using c589...

Not only will it deplete the soil of nutrients, it will spread. Rapidly.

With its genetic resistance to pesticides

c589 could become impossible to contain.

He's right.

All arable land on the planet could be choked out in decades.

You guys really know your shit.

I don't really have a life outside the Internet.

And I'm getting an a in biology.

No, thank you. Uh—uh.

Yeah, I spent many years

very, very close to an old person

who had to fight for every breath he took.

You trying to ruin this for me?

Nah. You're an intelligent person.

You can make your own decisions.

She chuckles

Abby scoffs

so what do we do now?

We can look at the stars.

Nah, there's too much light pollution.

I can only see one.

Sirius.

Huh.

There's... there's another one.

That's Mars. That's a planet.

I defer to your astronomy expertise.

Astrology, unfortunately.

My mum was into it.

She based all her decisions, all her relationships

on bullshit like whether Jupiter and Mars were aligned.

Both laugh

you know, most belief systems are just

a shared vocabulary for people in search of meaning.

I think maybe the important thing is to just believe in something.

You mean something spiritual?

Something.

I don't believe in anything. — yeah, you do.

You believe in humanity.

You believe that our future's at stake.

That's not spiritual.

Yeah, it is.

They laugh — what?

God, who are you?

I mean, where were you when I was in high school?

It would've been nice to have at least one interesting person to talk to.

Well, I'm kind of an old soul.

Yeah, no kidding.

I like it.

I, uh... I should get back in there

and see if Phil...

Yeah.

See if Philip needs help finishing up.

So... don't light up while I'm gone.

She laughs

She sighs

door closes

Philip: Good to go.

Philip types

do you remember when hall said

"don't think the future doesn't get its hands dirty"?

I know how you feel.

But we knew, going into this

that there's some parts of history we can't change.

Some people still have to die.

Doesn't mean I have to like it.

Indistinct shouting

protesters: Say no to 939.

Say yes to our future.

Maclaren: Morning, congressman.

Maclaren.

Not much of a turnout.

It's far more important the event's covered by news the outlets, and they're all here.

You know, for what it's worth—— — it's worth nothing.

It's a life thrown away on the vague hope that one man's death can turn a tide.

I wish I'd never volunteered

but here I am.

You are going through with this?

Don't worry, I'll play my part

however pathetic it might be.

Well, then again, you might just change the world.

I know the director believes that.

Five minutes.

Com link beeps

bishop's ready.

I'm in position.

Marcy: Me too. All set.

The device is set for 11:27

so when you have it in place, here, on the second floor...

I flip the engagement switch and get the hell outta the building.

You got it.

Alright.

Ok. Here we go.

You good?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I should go.

We'll be right here the whole time.

See you soon.

Crowd shouts and cheers

indistinct chatter from press

Ted bishop: Thank you.

Thank you all for coming.

We are gathered here

at a defining moment in the history of our country.

Today, the senate will vote on bill 939

which, at its core...

Institutes pro visions

that seek to diminish

corpora te en vironmen ta/ accoun tabi/ity.

Crowd boos

protester: No way!

Ted bishop: As your congressman, / stand here as

a comrade in arms...

Ready to fight against irresponsible policies

brought forth to the senate

that seek to place short—term profits

ahead of the health and well—being of our planet.

Crowd applauds and cheers

Scanner beeps — indistinct chatter

I don't like it either.

Abby pounds on door

I can't do it. — what?

I changed my mind. This isn't what I want.

Let's go.

No. No, no. You need to trust the plan.

I don't. I'm not doing it.

I don't know what I was thinking. — Abby...

Abby, it's got to be done.

Fuck that. — what's changed?

You. Ok? It's you guys!

I mean, you've completely opened my eyes to a possible—...

Abby in robotic voice: Tra ve/er 0775

oh, no! No!

Complete the mission in place of Abigail Paris, immediately.

Abby gasps

oh, shit.

Help me.

Why would the director do this? — because she was supposed to die.

What are you doing? — protocol 1.

Door slams

Trevor!

Boss... we have a problem!

What?

We have less than a minute, then the bomb's gonna blow.

We're in position, what's the problem?

Trevor's the one taking it in.

Maclaren: What?

Carly sighs goddammit.

Maclaren: Trevor, what are you doing?

Trevor: Abby went "messenger".

"Traveler 0115, complete the mission." That's what it said.

Who cares what it said? We'll find another way!

Countdown beeps

Trevor!

Card scanner beeps — Trevor!

Philip shouts: Trevor!

We're down to seconds!

Philip: We don't have time! — that's enough.

Both missions depend on this happening.

So long, guys.

Philip: Boss, help me out here!

Trevor, you know what to do.

What? No!

Come on!

Computer continues beeping

This...

Is a unique time in human history.

Humanity is at a tipping point.

This is a time in which people of the future will ask

”did you act? ”

”Or did you stand idly by?”

Where's the diversion?

Stand by. Trevor, it's time.

Boss, it won't detonate.

He sighs

where were you when it was us or them?

Because we must protect—...

He's having a heart attack. Call it now.

He's dying anyway.

We...

Must protect humanity's future...

Regardless of our political beliefs.

Regardless of our religion.

The colour of our skin.

Regardless of personal cost.

Crowd cheers

He won't die a martyr if he has a heart attack.

Marcy: This is the whole point. — I won't make it out.

I got your back. Take the shot. — Ted: But now...

Is the time for us—...

Crowd screams

there! Over there! I saw the shooter!

Crowd panics

Get in.

Keep your head down.

Maclaren: Stay back!

Make some room!

Sirens wail

he's gone.

Door opens

what took you so long?

We, uh, had to take care of Abby's body before we came back.

So what went wrong?

It was deactivated remotely.

Philip: By me.

What?

I wasn't gonna let him die for nothing.

Like Abby? It wasn't for nothing

or we wouldn't have been given the mission!

Galston's competition is weeks away from their own prototype.

And come on, people.

Ted bishop's assassination isn't gonna inspire a movement.

That's not for you to decide.

Well, I did. And it's done.

We could easily have lost one team member to save another.

Without that diversion, Carly was completely exposed after she fired.

You hung me out to dry.

And I see you made it.

That's not the point, Philip!

You undermined a direct order—...

You mean like the order the director gave you?

Cos if memory serves, and hey, it usually does

you were given explicit order.

Kill 3468.

But hey, maybe she just hasn't gotten around to it.

This isn't funny.

You look me in the eye and you tell me I am the only one on this team who's improvised.

Tell me.

I am the only one that's broken the rules.

I can hack into galston

and wipe all their data on c589.

We can even get another bomb in there.

But there are other ways to do this.

And if we get the mission

then that's what we'll do.

It's out of our hands now.

Protocol 5 until further notice.

I should add

despite my apparent protestations to the contrary

I'm very glad you're still alive.

Thank you.

You too.

Mac.

Get me one of her folic acid pills.

If we're going to swap out a medication to prevent a miscarriage

it'll need to look identical.

I didn't think you were gonna do this. — I'm a doctor.

I help people.

I took that oath first.

You know, technically, that's not... — ok, then... I'm improvising.

Thank you.

Door opens

hey. Can I get a ride?

Sure. Van's out front.

Marcy sighs — where to?

Honestly? I don't really feel like going home.

I know just where that is.

Come on.

He knocks

Kat?

Door slams

Kat? You home?

Trevor types

Hey. Perfect timing. I was just thinking about you.

Are you ok?

Yeah.

Long day.

Come on.

I'll be in my room. Answer the phone if mum calls.

Chloe? — ok.

Ready?

Marcy: How did you even find this place?

They're turning this old government building into condos soon.

Jeff brought me here to look at the view...

Mm. — wants to buy one.

Seems like this address might be a little out of your price range.

Everything he likes is a little out of our price range.

Likes to dream, that man.

So... you two?

We three.

That child is why we're doing this. That's the only reason.

Is it?

He did stop drinking.

I got a zero—tolerance thing going.

We both love that boy, so.

Marcy: Hmm.

I met a guy.

You did?

Doctor.

Well, at least you have something in common.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't really think there's anything there.

Explosion

galston agriculture's that way.

Trevor?

Trevor, where are you?

Come in!

Trevor?

Sorry, / was visiting my parents.

Couldn't talk. You guys hear that?

Yeah. We saw it.

Had to be galston.

Someone just completed our mission.
